The comedian has had a history with drug problems and weight problems (stemming from overeating), but continually made light of it on the Howard Stern show. This isn’t the first report of Artie being hospitalized, but it is by far the worst.
Howard Stern discussed the article on air this morning, and said he had not talked to Artie lately, but other members of his staff had. Apparently, Lange was unraveling much more than people around him thought.
Lange has been slipping more and more lately (remember his appearance on Joe Buck’s show?), and the signs were probably there. In a situation with someone who battles with addiction it must be hard to read the signs correctly. Artie is a funny guy, if a bit over the top. I hope he gets better soon.

Artie has always been deeply depressed. I could see this coming a mile away; except I thought it'd be in the form of a heroin overdose (his drug of choice). But, stabbing himself, that certainly came out of the blue. I just remember the great moments he provided for the show and I know he has a big heart. Speedy recovery Artie. We love ya'!
